Bile juice is produced by the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Bile juice is produced by the:
A. Gall bladder
B. Pancreas
C. Stomach
D. Liver
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Bile is synthesized by hepatocytes of the liver and stored and concentrated in the gall bladder. It contains bile salts (sodium glycocholate and taurocholate) that emulsify fats, aiding lipase action. Bile also contains bile pigments (bilirubin, biliverdin) from hemoglobin breakdown. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice with digestive enzymes. Gall bladder only stores bile, doesn't produce it.

Question #2
The transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one plant to the stigma of a genetically different plant is known as:
A. Geitonogamy
B. Xenogamy
C. Cleistogamy
D. Autogamy

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Xenogamy is the type of cross-pollination where pollen grains are transferred from the anther of one plant to the stigma of a genetically different plant. This promotes genetic diversity. Autogamy is self-pollination within the same flower. Geitonogamy is the transfer of pollen between different flowers on the same plant (functionally cross-pollination but genetically self-pollination). Cleistogamy is closed, self-pollinating flowers.

Question #3
Consider statements about scientists: 1. Edward Jenner is the father of immunology. 2. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. 3. Louis Pasteur discovered the structure of DNA. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Edward Jenner is considered the father of immunology for pioneering the concept of vaccination by developing the smallpox vaccine. Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, penicillin, from the fungus Penicillium notatum in 1928. Louis Pasteur made monumental contributions to microbiology and vaccination, but the structure of DNA was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
